<br />
i actually love Indonesia a lot. especially Tanjung Balai Karimun and Tanjung Buru Karimun...Both can be consider as my hometown or birth place. :)<br />
<br />
My sisters , Brothers and Uncle lives there and work there... Thus, whenever it reach holiday, i will went back to visit them... They will always come 2 the Harbour to fetch me.. :) They are all very caring..<br />
<br />
I normally took a ferry ( Indo-Falcon ) from Harbourfront , Singapore Cruise Center to Tanjung Balai Karimun.. This Ferry will last for one hour and the half to two hours in the sea then reach the shore of Tanjung Balai Karimun. Finally, we reach the State Of Indonesia.. But that is still not the end.. We had to still take a " speedboat " to reach Tanjung Buru Karimun...<br />
<br />
Finally , we reach Tanjung Buru Karimun... And most likely, we would stay there for like 4 days to 1 week. It is quite fun there... But the only bad thing is that, there is a lot of MOSQUITES!! haha..<br />
And then, when we went back to Singapore, we take this same transport back! The trip is Indeed awesome and Cool!!!<br />
<br />
